N'OUBLIETTE ONE
Original mixed media assemblage
1999
10" high by 8" wide (250 mm by 200 mm)
(Cropped low resolution image illustrated)
INTRODUCTION
This was probably my first mixed media assemblage. It was wrung out of
me at the end of a brief and stressful relationship. After we broke up,
she mailed me back a package containing everything I'd given her. After
mulling over the contents for a while, I decided I would encapsulate some
of them into an "oubliette", the medieval word for a kind of prison that
consisted of a hole in the ground with a slab of rock over it. An unfortunate
prisoner would be chucked into the hole, the rock placed on top, and the
prisoner forgotten about.
The image illustrated is a cropped version of the actual assemblage.
Materials include foamcore, matteboard, black and gold pen & ink,
sparkle wire, hand painted photographs, ribbon, japanese paper, flower
petals, wrapping paper, gold stars, and shells.
It is available for $300.00 (three hundred) Canadian.
